Wedding Reception Venues in Mona Vale

Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Surf, sand and the ocean pool frame the wedding options at 1 Surfview Road, where Mona Vale Surf Life Saving Club and The Basin Dining Room sit side by side on the beach.

Booking the surf club's full venue hire gives a couple the whole upper floor: the Ocean Pool Room for the reception and the Cook Terrace Bar, which doubles as a pre-drinks area or wet weather ceremony spot. Inland, Pittwater RSL offers Romas, its most dressed-up room.
